An important clarification - pls share. There is NO two child cap on Child Benefit I've had questions, as many media outlets write confusing statements or use 'child benefit' as shorthand. The two-child cap is not about Child Benefit, it is about benefits (eg Universal Credit

If the Labour Party has a moral mission, it must be to eradicate child poverty. I join the 11 unions affiliated to the Labour Party & the TUC, which represents six million workers, in calling for the two-child benefit cap to be immediately scrapped. I will vote for it today.

Bottom line, if the two child limit isn't scrapped as part of the upcoming child poverty strategy, every single day it continues to exist, it will simply work against other positive interventions to support children End Child Poverty bbc.com/news/articles/… #twochildlimit

Findings from Onward are another example of calls from across the political spectrum for Government to abolish the two-child limit. There is clear consensus that scrapping this cruel and unfair policy must be a priority at the Autumn Statement. theguardian.com/society/articl…

Together with Save the Children UK and Child Poverty Action Group we are sending a clear message to MPs at #LabourConference24 - now is the time to scrap the cruel two-child limit. A policy which pushes families with children into poverty. #Lab24 #AllKidsCount

We have just heard that the Scottish Govt plan to scrap the cruel two child limit. This is amazing news for Scottish families living in poverty, as a result of this policy. We now call on Liz Kendall and Department for Work and Pensions to do this same across the UK bbc.co.uk/news/live/c8xj…
